[VIDEO] Program
Another video from totheark

New totheark video here.

Stating the immediately obvious, there's a weird squiggle shaped like an S in the lower left corner, and a bunch of 0's and dashes appear on the house in some sort of pattern. There's also some sort of orchestral music in the background that sounds similar to that taken from the other videos after the audio was cleaned up. The other background noise sounds almost like a film reel. The text at the end also spells out "bleed more".

Any ideas?

Obviously, the first thing that came to mine once I read the title was "Ark." It's an archiving program. This could hold some kind of clue, maybe.

Morse Code, or perhaps Binary. If you turn it on it's side, the placement of the dashes might represent the dits and dats, with the 0's representing empty space rather than one of the dits/dats.

Or it could be binary.


EDIT:

Alright, I'm convinced that it's a 5 that wavers, due to the giant space between the two crests.

Also, here is the flashing pattern:

00
0-
-0

At 0:05 you can see SM pass right by the squiggle.

EDIT: Never mind, it was only rain. My eyes are playing tricks on me.

Oh yeah, he's just standing there, and then at :05, he just darts off.

Also, I messed up the first code. Let me fix that ;C

So it wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me? Because now I can't see him anymore.

I'm positive I can see him leaning around one of the trees, looking at the camera, before darting into the brush.

If that is binary, the - represents 1 then it's:

25 1 7 1 25 1 7 1 25 1 7 1

alphanumerically that's YAGA 3 times.

edit: fixed

I can't see him anywhere. I don't think he's in this video. I think you need some rest man.

Oh, lol. What a jerk.
Try it with the zeroes as 1 instead. That should yield... something.

Incidentally I don't think it's an S, I think it's a lowercase Zeta ζ.

I'm really not spotting SM in this video. Can we have the circling in red with big pointy arrows please?

could this be the view from the outside during the vid Impurity? I'm pretty sure that that was the one that had some sort of music in it.

Wait a damn minute.


I just searched "totheark" to find all of his movies, so I could show you where I think SM is, but instead of "Program," it says "ark6."


Maybe Program might refer to an actual program, after all. Something weird, definitely.

inverting zeros and -s gives 3 repeats of the sequence

230
254
248

I don't think that's relevant. It's convenient that the pattern happens to fit into the alphabet, but the letters don't seem to say a lot.

The video ends way too abruptly, should check if there is any frames after the YouTube cutoff!

Also I believe that there is no door in the later bit ( after the code) though it could have been open the whole time, we never get a good look at it.
